Summer Transfer Misery 2017/18

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Alexis will have plenty of choices in January and his wage demands can be obscene because there's no fee involved. So the gypos might lose out if a Utd or a Bayern get interested. This is probably their best opportunity to get the player. I wouldn't think gypoland would be Alexis' first choice and if a better option was available he'd take it.

From the rumours it honestly seems that Alexis actually wants to stay in the Premier League and London which means that the Gypos are likely his second choice behind the Chavs.

But yeah I agree with the sentiment of your post - we hold a lot more leverage here then some think. City and Pep are clearly desperate for him and keeping him risks other clubs gazumping them with a mega money contract offer. Hence why that Sterling + cash supposed offer is purely laughable.

Mail is saying Wenger has resolved to sell any player that wants to leave, following a heated meeting on Monday. In the context of this club I'm taking "heated" to mean the central heating was turned up. Gentlemen, we have the option of making a lot of profit or taking a loss, please vote now. And a warm glow was felt by all.

This will make keep him batting at 100% for claiming he's not selling, only to sell at the last minute. Consistency.

But that game on Sunday sealed it, if ever there was any real doubt. There's nothing to be gained from hanging on to Alexis. At least we have good experience in milking the gypos. Last I heard they are so desperate to to get rid of Nasri they are offering to pay his wages if he pisses off.

These two clubs were made for each other.

Still don't get why City are interested when Guardiola is reported to have found a few of his traits majorly annoying at Barca and City have loads of attacking players with Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero and Jesus.

They'll be competing on two major fronts so will need quality in reserve. Injuries, suspensions, loss of form, tactical options. None of that will make much sense to us, or at least it's something we don't have to worry about. But other clubs take it all very seriously.

Ornstein says Oxlade has turned Chelsea down as he still holds out hope of joining us

The main reason being he wants to play centre mid, not wing back which he thinks will happen at Chelsea too. Hmm.

You'll need to hand deliver the offer. Our fax has been broken for the last 20 years.

Or they could just graffiti it on the Ken Friar Bridge.

Chelsea have bid ten million lower for Barkley than they did for the Ox

Exaggerated I know, but you do feel this is a uniquely Arsenal situation
